List three momenta where the drama of the short film stands out. Make reference to microelements & representation

DRAMATIC DEVICES
The gradual hints about the man’s story through the evidence found foreshadows the truth and resolution at the end

How do the microelements of the short film generate preferred & alternate meanings?
Preferred meanings – The slow-paced shots of the houses add a sense of normality to the short film to help contrast the dramatic ending of the death.

Alternative meaning – The slow-paced shots of the houses add suspense and creates tension as the viewer doesn’t know when something will happen
